Being defibrillated or intubated does not increase the seriousness 10 fold. The fact that CPR is initiated is max seriousness. That means he didn’t have a pulse or breathing. Doesn’t elevate above that. Being defibrillated means there’s a fighting chance to convert him out of his arrhythmia. You don’t shock asytole (flat line). Odd statement Carlos

@@cardiovert5269 Tks for this. As a nurse, I was confused by this statement. More so because this is written by a supposed medical professional. Can u plz clarify what u practice and/or have 15 yrs experience in? As someone who was also previously intubated when I was put into an induced coma with CV, this doesn’t make any sense. Breathing tubes r damn near standard in the ICU to protect brain function while the body is hopefully healing. AED and “regular” CPR r one in the same. The heart has stopped. Period. Both r used to restart it, to get some type of rhythm back while continuing to manually assist in pumping blood throughout the body. The only diff is the AED increases chance of survival. It’s not less “serious” if one isn’t used. If available, it is ALWAYS used over continuous CPR. Either way, I just hope this young, top tier athlete fully recovers. I feel so much for his loved ones. 🙏🏽
